and maintains the legacy Student Information System
(SIS) supporting 10+ individual colleges, 2 vocational
skill centers, a charter high school, and all student
related state, federal, and college reporting.

College Financial Systems: The College Financial
System (CFS) is the system of record for all accounting
transactions, including Purchasing, Accounts Payable,
Fixed Assets and General Ledger. The annual Financial
Report is derived from information within CFS.  The
CFS application interfaces with the BDS application,
the HR application and the Student Information System.

of record for all human resources, payroll, benefits, and
recruiting transactions within MCCCD.

acquisitions, cataloging, interlibrary loan, processing,
and systems support to all MCCCD libraries, and inter-
library loan services to the District Support Services Center.


Enterprise Reporting

Decision Support System: The project is intended to
meet the needs and requirements for information
currently available at many colleges via home-grown
information access systems that will be rendered
obsolete with the implementation of the new Student
Information System
(SIS).

Business Intelligence Enterprise Reporting Team:
The Business Intelligence Enterprise Reporting Team
provides College and District Office users with reports
and data queries from the Student Information System,
as well providing training and data source information
so the users can report or extract data as needed.


Electronic Communications

MEMO supports the time management and electronic
communications needs of MCCCD. This project began
in August 1999, to bring all district employees a seam-
lessly integrated set of electronic communication tools
including SMTP/IMAP compatible email, industry stand-
ard Staff and Faculty Address Book & White Pages
access, and enterprise wide time management.

This supports the personal administrative needs of
MCCCD staff providing access to user profile
administration tools for campus level administration
as well as for the individual user profile management,
web calendar acces
s
, and calendar desktop software downloads

Enterprise Identity Management

EIMS: EIMS identifies the people we serve, and enables us to provide them with services that are personalized to their needs and preferences, while ensuring the security of their information.

Event Scheduling

Resource 25: (authentication is required)
R
esource 25 is a robust tool used to schedule facility
spaces, resources, and personnel.


R25 will pull college-specific class schedule information from SIS to publish in calendar view. Along with web-published classes; meetings, workshops, performances, and student- related activities may be published on the calendar, providing a single location for viewing college activities.

As MCCCD becomes familiar with this new tool, we will look at expanding services such as online ticket sales for performances and events, and interfacing with other district systems.
